Here is my first 1/43rd. It's a Provence Moulage resin with PE details. Fairly simple build. Only the front orange decal was a bit worrying, but nothing that Microsol couldn't handle.
Paint is Alclad Aluminum over Tamiya white primer.
Still a bunch of stuff to do, but I wanted to share anyway :)

looking good, never seen this car modeled before (bit of dutch patriotism, though frankly i'm not a huge fan of the type).
It look really crisp, with sharp lines, especially for a 1:43, did you add those rivets?
It also seems there's a tiny bit of orange peel, is it really visible in real life or do you have look from 5cm to notice?

Thanks :)

The rivets are molded in. A very nice and very crisp moulding. The orange stripes are decals, so I can't get rid of that orange peel look. But you are right, it's not noticeable in real life. At least to my eyes, anyway..eheheh
The pictures seem to always exacerbate all the little flaws, but I'm quite happy with the look of it right now.

Thanks again,
Pedro.
